I was international applicant going through the process for the first time. To make things worse, I was working 12-15 hours a day and had very little time to work on my apps. Applying during the COVID-19 application cycle, I knew it would be extremely difficult to get into a good program. Getting Carin's help was the best decision I made that year. Carin was extremely responsive and invested throughout the process. I got all my essays reviewed by her and received a lot of thoughtful input. It wasn't for her, I wouldn't have been able to secure an admission to Yale SOM.

I was incredibly delighted by my outcomes (admits to Stern, Haas, LBS, Kellogg, Yale, Tuck, UCLA and McCombs—as well as generous scholarships from many of them and one full ride!) and I couldn’t have done it without Carin. The Strategic Essay Reviews I booked with Carin really helped me polish my story and make my essays shine. She was extremely helpful in helping me refine my career goals and my story, in addition to identifying target schools. She often went above and beyond to answer my questions over email and help me iterate over my career vision until I uncovered a winning strategy. I found that her advice on one of my essays was often applicable to several of them, and she really helped me showcase my strengths and personality to the admissions committee. She was integral in helping me identify points to focus on in my application, and I truly felt like I’d put my best foot forward after working with her. I can’t recommend her help enough—I honestly couldn’t have done it without her!

Ariel is extremely helpful, encouraging, and positive. She was supportive and flexible in meeting my needs throughout my application process. She is very knowledgeable and provides constructive feedback. I could always depend on her to get back to me quickly and plan our next steps. I would highly recommend Ariel for any part of your application!

Megan went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule and needs, and is genuinely invested in her clients’ success.

Janet was extremely helpful and knowledgable throughout the whole application process! She gives very targeted and thorough feedback for the essays. It's really beneficial that she knows what the admissions team is looking for and is able to help you tailor your application/essays to meet those standards. Purchasing her coaching is a steal, highly recommend Janet!

I loved working with Jennifer! She brought such a positive, can-do spirit to the essay drafting process. She was also instrumental in teasing out aspects about my life to bring colour to my essays and make sure they read less like a CV. I sadly only had one hour with her, but would greatly recommend her!

I highly recommend Giovanna for her exceptional recruitment and interpersonal skills. Giovanna is a passionate recruitment leader. Her proactive approach in providing application guidance and addressing applicants’ concerns ensures all candidates receive equal support, fostering a fair chance for them to pursue critical educational opportunities in their lives. She goes above and beyond in connecting applicants with alumni and current students, providing invaluable insights into the community. As an administration officer, she exemplifies a high-impact, low-ego leader. Giovanna's dedication is a lasting source of inspiration, and I feel very fortunate to have worked with her throughout my application to Kellogg!

I wholeheartedly recommend Giovanna as a truly cross-functional recruiter. She is outstanding at her craft, both well-versed and highly attuned in her ability to identify and attract top talent in an authentic way. Her relationship-based approach, attention to detail, and keen eye for executive-level qualities played a crucial role in assembling a diverse and high-caliber cohort for the Kellogg School of Management's Evening & Weekend program. Without her exceptional skills, I and many other top talent would not have identified the right cultural, academic, and career fit for us. Across her diverse backgrounds in the arts, and now in business, Giovanna's exceptional recruiting ability transcends sector; her ability to translate her approach across industries is proven and continually successful.

I wholeheartedly endorse Giovanna for her outstanding work as an Assistant Director of Admissions. Giovanna’s exceptional recruiting skills and networking acumen played a pivotal role in my decision to attend Kellogg, a decision that has significantly advanced my career. Her keen eye for identifying and attracting top talent has greatly enriched the educational environment, making a lasting impact on the caliber of the community. Giovanna combines her sharp professional insights with a genuine, empathetic approach, making her not only a highly influential figure but also deeply authentic in her interactions. Her strength in building connections and fostering a network of high-achieving individuals is a testament to her invaluable contribution to the field of admissions

Indrani is honest and extremely understanding. Working with her so far has been invaluable in shaping my path and career aspirations.
